The guy's right as far as them being dumb with penalties. They shot themselves in the foot so much in the Philly game, it was ridiculous.

But their downfall is their D. It sucks. Warren Sapp looks like he just sat at a table and never got up. McNabb had all day in the pocket all game long. I swear he could've taken a nap for the amount of time he had to pass the ball. They've got two young guys as CBs opposite Charles Woodson who can be torched occasionally.

I really hope we don't get into a shootout with them. While Bledsoe did well in San Fran, I wouldn't want to depend on those kind of performances on a regular basis. Plus, that would make me lose my warm & fuzzies I still have for our D.

In order to beat them JuJo and Co must have a big game running. This will bleed the clock and keep the Oakland offense cold. Parcells needs to play the nickel because Oakland will go 3 WR prolly the whole game. It is best to play the pass and let Oakland beat themselves. Then again we may go for the throat eventually BP will get confidense in this team and turn them loose.

If you haven't lost your warm and fuzzies over our D yet, I'm not sure what you are waiting for....lol. I love the potential...I love our SS, all of our CB's, and our DL....but our LB's stink, and we are giving up points at a record pace. As far as letting the other teams score points, I don't think our defense could be any worse at this point. People get frustrated with the old "bend but don't break" theory, but the fastest way to lose games in the NFL today is to do it our recent way....give up easy big plays every week.

We have to be among the worst teams in the NFL on 3rd and 4th down defense, too. Hopefully, eventually, someone will start making big plays rather than giving them up.

Right now, the offense is carrying this team the way the defense carried them for a few years...who would have predicted that in preseason?

Amen. That Stanford Routt has a "Mario Edwards Bullseye" all over him. I hope we open up passing to loosen things up for JJ, but then I'd like to see a ball-control offense. Dillon and Westbrook have gashed the Raiders in the flats (surprisingly, Priest Holmes didn't do much) and I think we can stretch them out without risking too much harm to our beloved totem pole of a QB.

I would think if there was a game where we would see a LOT of 4-3...this is it. Stuff the run early and put Glover, Ware, Ellis, Spears, and Canty out there...all good rushers.

It seems like ball control and play action are good if you want to keep your undersized defense off the field and keep them from being worn down. Why should we care now with all of the size and depth in the front 7, that has us all excited. I think we should take the shackles of the offense and let Drew air it out. The Oline has played outstanding protecting him. I think ball control, especially if they don't give Julius a break like they have been is just asking to have him worn down later in the season.

Since they are big in the middle with oversized LB's, wouldn't this be good game to unleash Tyson Thompson with his speed to the outside and also give JJ some relief? Makes sense to me.

This concussion business is very very VERY distressing.

I am sure the coaching staff and the team medicos, much less Jerry, would never put any player who is still showing symptoms on the field, but we have heard so little about the injury that once again, the paucity of info leads to increased worry.
